We propose a multivariate extension of the Lorenz curve based on multivariate rearrangements of optimal transport theory. We define a vector Lorenz map as the integral of the vector quantile map associated to a multivariate resource allocation. Each component of the Lorenz map is the cumulative share of each resource, as in the traditional univariate case. The pointwise ordering of such Lorenz maps defines a new multivariate majorization order. We define a multi-attribute Gini index and complete ordering based on the Lorenz map. We propose the level sets of an Inverse Lorenz Function as a practical tool to visualize and compare inequality in two dimensions, and apply it to income-wealth inequality in the United States between 1989 and 2019.
